Blind leading the blind

Covfefe's never-ending incompetence show makes clowns even out of formerly competent governors:

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - The United States is "done talking about North Korea" and China is aware they must act, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday (July 30) after North Korea fired its second long-range missile this month and amid a push by Washington to impose stronger UN sanctions on Pyongyang.

"Done talking about North Korea. China is aware they must act. Japan and South Korea must increase pressure. Not only a US problem. It will require an international solution," Haley posted on Twitter.

Why would China help US deal with North Korea for free? Over the last six months, Covfefe strengthened China's position in the region by pulling out of TPP and making all kinds of embarrassing statements about Japan and S.Korea, both on trade and defense. Now when the US is relatively weak, he starts making demands on strong China, which sees the N.Korea issue as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations. Paradoxically, both Covfefe and Kim help Xi get better trade deals with the US and Japan.

As an ancient Chinese stratagem says: 調虎離山／调虎离山 - Lure the tiger off its mountain lair.

It seems like effect (F) and understanding (U) are adjoint functors.
